__My Thoughts<\/h3>\n

I chose to feature this newly published book of prose and poetry by Sally Rosenthal for the theme of “Pilgrimage” today. I love the word, pilgrimage that holds historical context through the centuries in the literary world.<\/p>\n

I am presenting\u00a0 this BOOK COMMENTARY, as a blessing.<\/p>\n

My focus is directly on the text of the book, Winter Pilgrimage: A Journey Through Later Life<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pilgrimage.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I hear this word\u00a0 I am instantly curious and interested. Immediately I envision the pilgrimage, a trek of pilgrims\u00a0 in The Canterbury Tales<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0 which I taught in one of our\u00a0 Humanities lectures at Geneva College, for years.\u00a0 \u00a0You can read more about this most famous Pilgrimage Here.<\/a><\/p>\n

I think you will love this story and it will provide a great deal of information on what a pilgrimage was like. This is a jolly-good story that will make you smile.<\/p>\n

Author:\u00a0 Sally Rosenthal<\/p>\n

Published: 2026.\u00a0\u00a0See the Book COVER HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n

I begin a personal literary journey into the book, Winter Pilgrimage:\u00a0 A Journey Through Later Life,<\/em> with a a\u00a0 careful look of the book\u2019s cover. Here, I see an elderly woman \u00a0who peers off into the distance. In her left hand,\u00a0 she barely balances a long cane that is dragging off behind her as she stops in a swirling, snowy landscape. Her back is towards the viewer.<\/p>\n

I think of the book\u2019s title, Winter Pilgrimage: A Journey Through Later Life,<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0and I consider if this elderly woman could be on a solitary pilgrimage. Does she have a destination in mind at this moment?<\/p>\n

I feel the chill of the blustery winter day and imagine the distant landscape. A lonely \u00a0figure, bundled up , perhaps, for a long trek to the next destination .\u00a0 Or, she may be lost, alone, facing the gathering darkness of a winter day.<\/p>\n

I will search for some answers as I begin reading the collection of fifty-eight poems by Sally Rosenthal.<\/p>\n

I notice that all of the poems are placed on the right side of the pages.\u00a0 The left page is blank, \u00a0except for a few of the longer\u00a0 prose pieces.<\/p>\n

I like the feeling I have when I can concentrate on just this one poem.\u00a0 This gives the feeling of slowing down as I focus on one poem without any interruptions, visually, as I read the collection. This allows the opportunity to breathe and slow down the pace of reading, and I relax and step into the poems, one at a time, with space to contemplate the verses \u00a0and enjoy the experience.<\/p>\n

As I begin reading one by one, I wonder, if\u00a0 this will be a typical, physical journey to\u00a0 a sacred shrine or a cathedral, a holy place: \u00a0Is this pilgrimage \u00a0a metaphysical journey with a destination that is not yet revealed?\u00a0\u00a0 Will the poems and prose pieces take the reader \u00a0to a pre-planned destination?\u00a0 Are there other participants on this journey?<\/p>\n

At Seventy,<\/strong><\/em> (Page 19) is the first poem in the book.<\/p>\n

The speaker\u00a0 directs our attention to<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 creativities stone<\/strong> in my hands<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We see that this stone is so large \u00a0or heavy that she must use two hands to hold it up for our inspection. She directs us the the unseen inner terrain of that stone where she reveals it holds<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 rough edges rivers of years <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 could not wear down\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, we have the image of those rough edges<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 now tumbling into words.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Thus, the scene is set for the readers to begin to hear the voice of the aging pilgrim\u00a0 who is standing in a snowstorm of\u00a0 her life journey.<\/p>\n

The stone is an important metaphor that establishes and ties together the actions of lifting, moving, letting go of something precious, like security, \u00a0to allow something new to develop. \u00a0The movement of the stone dropping and at the same time, changing \u00a0form and purpose, \u00a0as her nimble fingers still clutch the stone.<\/p>\n

Change, movement, and revision are established in the opening poem.\u00a0 A reader will \u00a0begin to feel a theme that will continue throughout the entire collection.<\/p>\n

Along with the changes taking place in the natural world, our speaker weaves in the changes she is experiencing in her own body.<\/p>\n

Getting On<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 (Page 29)<\/p>\n

There is a longer\u00a0 prose discourse at this point in the sequence\u00a0 that \u00a0describes personal physical \u00a0changes and\u00a0 the body\u2019s necessary demand for movement.<\/p>\n

I never feel older than when I get out of bed\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

She gives the reader a list of physical changes and compares them with the earlier years when she was forty,<\/p>\n

The <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cme\u201d I hold inside still thinks of herself as, depending on the day,<\/em><\/p>\n

a woman in her forties, fifties, or occasionally\u00a0 sixties. My <\/em><\/p>\n

personality, intellect, and emotional life are the same, for the<\/em><\/p>\n

most part, as they were decades ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

A solitary conversation reflects on her inner feelings and thoughts, she also adds a more realistic account of how\u00a0 she still does the daily chores presently, yet she \u00a0adds<\/p>\n

but today my body reminds me\u00a0 in no uncertain terms<\/em><\/p>\n

that I am old. In these moments, I would like nothing more than to<\/em><\/p>\n

set household chores aside in favor of a second cup of coffee\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Delicately weaving the colorful threads of a love story, Unlike Other Loves<\/em> (Page 43),<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rosenthall develops another theme that runs through the Winter Pilgrimage<\/em> of her life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike other loves, \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I cannot see his face,<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 arriving as he did,<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 twenty years into my blindness\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I do not need to know how<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 silver streaks his once blond hair<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 or that his green eyes<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 are flecked with hazel\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The final poem in this collection is, The Coming Winte<\/em>r (Page 133)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe the final thoughts expressed in this poem are the answer to my initial question about the book\u2019s cover.\u00a0 This pilgrimage is both physical \u00a0and metaphysical.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While it is a journey of a life that has experiences of\u00a0 many unusual circumstances, it is also the expression of a quiet, inner, and \u00a0spiritual life and a soft silent prayer to God <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

to set me in this liminal space<\/em><\/p>\n

for yet\u00a0 a few more years.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This brings me to ask readers about the imagery of themes in the book.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you search to discover in the collection of poems the benefit of \u00a0beginning a pilgrimage in the winter season?<\/p>\n

Why did the author choose the winter season as the setting for her poems and prose pieces in the book.<\/p>\n

How does this collection of poems reflect the imagery on the front cover of the book?<\/p>\n
